Our younger brother thinks to rule over us;

and we have had much trial because of him;

wherefore, now let us slay him,

that we may not be afflicted more because of his words.

for it belongs unto us, who are the elder brethren, to rule over this people.

save it were not built of so many precious things;

wherefore, it could not be built like unto Solomon's temple.

But the manner of the construction was like unto the temple of Solomon;

and the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine.
